Chapter 13 Chapter 13 Ten dollars, a huge amount of money for matchmaking
After Zhuo Jia's repeated rejections, Aunt Ding gave up the idea with great regret.
She said with a sad face: "Then no one else is worthy of you."
It's not that she looks down on the boys in her own team, but that she knows herself well.
She had heard from her grandchildren that Zhiqing Zhuo met them on the road and gave them candy. Such a good Zhiqing was like swan meat, and a bunch of toads could forget about it.
Zhuo Jia's mouth twitched. Regardless of whether they were suitable for each other or not, the main thing was that these people did not meet her standards for choosing a partner.
"Auntie Ding, you know a lot of people, please help me look for it." Zhuo Jia said with a red face, pretending to be embarrassed.
At the same time, he stuffed a handful of fruit candies into Aunt Ding's hand.
Aunt Ding looked at the fruit candy in her hand and thought of her family. She patted her chest and promised, "Zhuo Zhiqing, don't worry. I will definitely find a suitable one for you. What are your requirements?"
She definitely didn't do it because of the fruit candies, but because Zhuo Zhiqing was a nice person.
Zhuo Jia blinked and blushed as she stated her requirements: "It would be best if we could separate the family property after marriage. The partner must be capable and able to support the family, and we must have our own house. The mother-in-law must be powerful but not nosy, and the sisters-in-law must be easy to get along with..."
As Zhuo Zhiqing spoke, the expression on Aunt Ding's face became stiffer and stiffer. She looked at the fruit candy in her hand, then looked at Zhuo Zhiqing who was blushing. She felt that these fruit candies were a bit choking and not tasty.
Seeing that Aunt Ding was silent, Zhuo Jia silently stuffed a handful of fruit candy into her and whispered, "Aunt Ding, I'm not in a hurry. As long as I can find the right one..."
As she spoke, she stretched out her two hands with all ten fingers standing high!
As long as Aunt Ding can find a suitable one, she will give Aunt Ding ten dollars as a matchmaking fee!
Aunt Ding took a deep breath, and then she patted her chest and promised, "Don't worry, I will definitely find something that meets your requirements."
Damn it, just for these ten dollars, if there is no suitable one in their brigade, then they can go to other brigades to look for one. All her old sisters should take action now.
Thinking of the ten yuan, Aunt Ding couldn't sit still for a moment. She stood up and said, "I'll go and ask around now. Zhuo Zhiqing, just wait for my good news."
Ten dollars, ten dollars, no one can stop her from making money!
Looking at Aunt Ding's high-spirited back, Zhuo Jia smiled. See, as long as you have money, there is nothing you can't do. So, finding a partner and so on, everything is for her purchasing group!
After Aunt Ding left, Zhuo Jia lived a more leisurely life. How could she not be leisurely? With the ten dollars there, Aunt Ding was definitely more attentive than her.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with this. After leaving the educated youth site, Aunt Ding went straight to her parents' home. Since there was no suitable person in her husband's team, she decided to go to her parents' team to have a look. This is easier to say, she can just ask her mother directly.
Although her mother is old, she is not confused at all. She knows which family in the brigade has a suitable boy.
The old lady, who knew what was going on, heard Aunt Ding's request and pointed to the door and said, "Go away."
This isn't finding a partner, this is making things difficult for the old lady!
Aunt Ding quickly held her mother's arm and said, "Mother, don't worry. If this can be done, I will give you one dollar."
No more!
The old lady looked at the girl who had crawled out of her belly with suspicion, and asked with narrowed eyes: "How much did they give you for matchmaking?"
As a girl, she understood that if someone dared to take on such a job, then the money would have to be negotiated properly.
Ten minutes later, the mother and daughter argued for a long time, and Aunt Ding gave up half of the benefits. But there was one good thing, that is, the old lady had already given her first impression to everyone she was looking for. You know, the old lady had an excellent vision.
No matter whether they are married in or out, no one will be unhappy in their life.
The old lady disliked her daughter: "You are busy at home all day, how many people do you know?"
Oh, if she had met Zhuo Zhiqing first, she would have kept the ten dollars for herself.
Aunt Ding retorted, "Mother, it doesn't matter how many people you know. The important thing is to find the right one, and find one according to the requirements!"
After saying this, she raised her neck and walked away to find her other sisters.
Seeing her daughter like this, the old lady couldn't sit still any longer and ran out with her two small feet. She had to go and ask, this educated youth, although her work was not well received, but as a daughter-in-law...
Some people are still willing to do so!
But this educated youth’s demands were not low either, so she had to hint at it!
Zhuo Jia was leisurely editing manuscripts at the educated youth center. Outside, Aunt Ding was so busy because of her that she went around to various brigades and ran her legs off in a day. However, even so, she couldn't find anything that met Zhuo Jia's requirements.
The next day, Aunt Ding continued to run around outside, while Zhuo Jia...
She used the excuse of feeling unwell and took another day off under the captain's disapproving look!
The captain came to the brigade headquarters with his hands behind his back and couldn't help sighing: "Alas!"
Seeing him sighing, the brigade secretary asked curiously, "What's wrong?"
Why are you sighing so early in the morning?
The team leader sat on a chair, frowning and saying, "Old Qiao, the two educated youths who came this time are both no good. Zhiqing Zhang's family is well-off and doesn't need these two, so he just picks grass for pigs with the kids, and Zhiqing Zhuo..."
Alas, he sighed again. Zhuo Zhiqing might have worked for the first few days after he arrived, but after only three days, he was discouraged by a letter from home and didn't want to do it anymore. What was going on?
The brigade secretary was very open-minded: "Why are you worrying so much? Zhuo Zhiqing is going to marry into the countryside, so let her in-laws worry about it."
Besides, seeing how loose Zhuo Zhiqing's hands are, it's obvious that he's not short of money. As long as he doesn't owe the team any money when the time comes, it'll be fine!
"What you said is true. If she wants to get married, then let her get married. No one wants a daughter-in-law like this." The captain wanted to sigh again.
Neither of the two educated youth who came this time was any good. It seems that next time he goes to pick up the educated youth, he will have to secretly burn incense at home!
The brigade secretary shook his head: "That's not necessarily true."
Although Zhuo Zhiqing asked for leave all day long, she had one thing better than other educated youths, that is, she would not return to the city in the future. Compared with this, many people might agree. After all, it is still very face-saving to have an educated youth as a daughter-in-law.
But looking at the captain's look, it was obvious that he had not thought about these things. He shook his head. The brains of everyone in the captain's family probably all grew on the fourth child of the captain's family.
The team leader didn't want to discuss the two educated youths anymore. His head was aching, and suddenly something occurred to him. He looked at the team secretary and asked curiously, "Old Qiao, your second son hasn't been home for several years, right? Will he come back this year?"
He had to find a way to marry Zhuo Zhiqing off quickly so that she wouldn't bring him any harm.
The brigade secretary asked with a wary look on his face, "Why are you asking this?"
He always felt that Huang Hongjie had no good intentions. He was talking about Zhuo Zhiqing just now, and now he suddenly mentioned their second son...
The brigade secretary suddenly understood. He pointed at the brigade leader and said, "You have a son of your own. Why are you so concerned about my son?"
Damn it, if he could control the second child, why would he be complained by his wife all day long?
The captain waved his hand: "You know that my daughter-in-law is going crazy because she wants a commune."
He wasn't crazy. As long as she was a daughter-in-law from the commune, no matter how tall, short, fat or thin, anything would be fine. Fortunately, his youngest son had his own opinion, otherwise...
He was afraid that he would never dare to go to the commune meetings again. He would be laughed at!
Brigade Secretary: “…”
After looking at the captain, he couldn't help shaking his head. To be honest, it's not easy to be the captain's daughter-in-law.
…
Zhuo Jia had no idea how the team leader and the team secretary discussed her in the team office. She hardly ever went out now, and stayed at the educated youth site to count the inventory in her warehouse. Oh, the key point was her remaining balance of 600 yuan, which made her feel particularly safe.
She shook the watch on her wrist. She didn't know when Aunt Ding would be able to find a suitable partner for her. She really wanted to have her own home. If she asked to build a house and move out to live alone...
Isn't this telling everyone clearly that she is up to something, and it also offends the educated youth. After all, people at the educated youth site are easy to get along with.
She couldn't help but shake her head and sigh, because humans are social animals!
Zhang Yunhuan came back from work and looked at Zhuo Jia enviously and said, "How about I ask the team leader for a couple of days off?"
Although the job of collecting grass for pigs is easy enough, who would be willing to work if they could take a rest?
"I think you should take this job seriously." Zhuo Jia suggested seriously.
Zhang Yunhuan is different from her. Zhang Yunhuan is going back to the city. Before going back to the city, he'd better stay away from trouble. If he loses this job again, wouldn't it be a waste of time?
"I just feel that the work is too tiring." Zhang Yunhuan said weakly.
She now wishes she could write a letter every day, urging her parents to find a way to get her back.
Zhuo Jia's mouth twitched. Who doesn't know that work is tiring? But there is nothing you can do about it. Either you leave or think of a solution.
Zhang Yunhuan nibbled on a biscuit and finally felt alive again. She leaned over to Zhuo Jia and asked curiously, "How's your search for a partner going? Is there anyone suitable?"
She was really too curious, but she also asked other old educated youth, and finally felt that it was not possible. Let's not talk about the family situation first. The man was just that kind, uneducated, and chauvinistic...
She really couldn't imagine what kind of partner Zhuo Jia would find. If he was really not good, she would have to persuade him no matter what.
"No progress yet." Zhuo Jia said calmly.
She wanted to find a partner, not just marry anyone, so she had time to wait for Aunt Ding to find one slowly.
Feng Xiaoyu also came over and said, "We heard from other aunts that Aunt Ding even invited her eighty-year-old mother to come out to see the doctor."
What she didn't say was that everyone was wondering why Aunt Ding was so enthusiastic and how much money she had received as a matchmaker. Some people were also eager to make a move, but they were all rebuked by Aunt Ding.
"I really don't know that." Zhuo Jia said with some surprise.
It seems that the ten dollars I spent on matchmaking was not wasted. It saved me a lot of trouble. It really saved me a lot of trouble!
Liu Hongmei glanced at Zhuo Jia and said in a low voice, "The captain's youngest son is very outstanding. You can ask Aunt Ding."
Zhuo Jia glanced at her and shook her head: "Don't talk nonsense, the captain's wife is determined to find a commune wife."
Although this person had good conditions, he was the first one she excluded.
"Then, the brigade secretary's second son doesn't have a partner either." Liu Hongmei thought for a moment and continued.
When she was most desperate, she also thought about marrying in the brigade, so she specifically learned about these things.
Zhuo Jia: "Tell me in detail?"
She really doesn't know this!
